Postpartum

Birth changes everything. Your body, your identity and the rhythm of daily life. While the world often rushes new mums to “bounce back,” the truth is that your recovery deserves time, support and respect. At Calyx, we honour this season by helping you reconnect with your body and rebuild a strong foundation, one step at a time.

Why Postpartum Support Matters

Postpartum recovery doesn’t end at 6 weeks. Whether you had a vaginal or caesarean birth, whether it was your first or fourth child, your body has gone through a profound transformation. A comprehensive postpartum assessment is often the missing link in helping women understand what’s changed and how to move forward safely.

We support you through:

  • Abdominal wall healing and diastasis recti management
  • Pelvic floor recovery and function
  • Pain with sex, leaking, or pelvic heaviness
  • Core weakness, postural tension, or rib tightness
  • Returning to movement, running, or high-impact exercise safely
  • Emotional and identity shifts that affect how you feel in your body

Common Conditions in the Postpartum Period

The postpartum period is often when symptoms first appear or resurface. You may not feel like yourself and that’s OK. We help women navigate:

How Calyx Can Support You

We take a whole-body approach to postpartum care. Whether you're two weeks, two months, or two years postpartum, we help you rebuild function, understand what’s normal, and move forward with strength.

Here’s how we support postpartum recovery:

  • Gentle reactivation of pelvic floor and core muscles
  • Abdominal wall assessment for diastasis recti and support strategies
  • C-section or perineal scar management for mobility and comfort
  • Pain relief for the back, pelvis, ribs, or neck from lifting/feeding
  • Sexual health support, including painful intercourse or dryness
  • Exercise progression plans that match your life and goals
  • Return-to-sport screening to assess readiness for running, HIIT, or strength training

CHLOE NG
Co-founder, Senior Physiotherapist

Chloe is a dedicated women’s health physiotherapist whose personal and professional journey has shaped her compassionate approach to care. Early in her career, she noticed that many women’s health concerns, including incontinence, painful intercourse and fertility challenges, were often dismissed or left unspoken. This sparked her commitment to specialise in pelvic health and provide women with the support they deserve.

She pursued training in pelvic health assessment and management, and integrates Polestar Pilates principles into her practice to restore functional movement, postural alignment, and overall wellbeing.

Her personal decision to go through two unmedicated births reinforced her belief in the power of education, preparation, and informed support during pregnancy and beyond.
